Barcelona defender Araujo snaps: Vinicius Jr talking and fighting with all my teammates

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo explained his furious clash with Vincius Junior during last night's Copa del Rey semifinal defeat to Real Madrid.

Real shocked Barca 4-0 at the Nou Camp, with Vini Jr opening the scoring before Karim Benzema's hat-trick. Real reach the final 4-1 on aggregate.

Afterwards, Araujo explained his anger towards the Brazilian "I got a little bit heated. He's a great player, but he should focus on playing football. If he did that, he would be an even better player.

"Today he was talking and fighting with all my teammates and I got heated. It's football stuff."

On Barca's collapse, Araujo added, "Losing against Real Madrid always hurts.

"(But) LaLiga is our main objective and we have to go for it. From tomorrow, we have to change our mindset and think about Girona."
